I've just been waiting for the rain to stop just to get down the road but sadly it's been crap for ages now and the only days we have had any sun I've had work on. Place just down the road has loads of restored old tractors...but damn winter sucks for keeping you off your bike.
Can it be both?
Or seen as we seem to be waiting on the rain for both the sports thing and tractor thing why not just a pic or your bike in the rain haha
Either one is fine by me. Just want make sure Brother Demon is OK with it.

Feel free to complete any non-completed challenges at any time. They are all the ones in the list tagged (nc).

However, only the completion of the current challenge gets to choose the next one.

I'm so sad; that I actually have a list in my tank bag with all the NC challenges highlighted.

Whatever, gives me an excuse to go for a ride on the odd Sunday afternoon.

Awesome, just went through the list and already know I can do at least 3 of those. It's a matter of some decent weather for some nice shots.

Thanks!

Was such a hot & humid morning I left to work half an hour early rather than sat home sweating. Atm 8:30, 25c & 75% humidity.

Feels good being back on the bike after two weeks, bugger put up a bit of a fight before starting.

Anyway here's what I have to offer.



The Lahti Ski Jump Arena. ABSOLUTELY NO amateurs allowed into the biggest tower. Quite honestly IMO anyone mad enough to strap on a pair of skis and come down THAT... I mean looking at it from this distance it's HUGE!!! There's an olympic size swimming pool at the bottom of the landing pit some 20m below my viewpoint, I'm already in a no-drive zone so didn't wanna go further.

It's a K130 hill, which means it's big enough, and is being used in the ski jump world championship league. The arena has also been a venue for the cross country skiing wc in 1926, 1938, 1958, 1978, 1989 and 2001.



To get to the ski arena you have to drive past the Isku Arena ice hockey rink, which is also the home of the Lahti Pelicans.

So if this flies, the next one, hope this hasn't been done yet, can't be bothered to check on my phone...


YBNT a coffee booth, hot dog stand etc. The shape of the product being sold.

That hill is AMAZING!! I have to admit, when I submitted the challenged, a ski jump didn't come to mind. But helmet tip to you sir for coming up with that. Love it.
